Technology In Schools ...Technology in schools has gave us options, but it has caused some problems. Yes, it gives us less paper and makes us organized. Yes, it gives us a way to contact teachers when we have questions. yes, if you miss a day then you can see what other students did in class. But It haveing technology is as good as long as you have wi-fi. With most technology would need internet access to make them work. I know schools want the one to one type system, but there are some problems. Not all students at home have internet access. I know that internet access is expensive. Parents have other thing to worry about besides internet such as food, gas, bills, rent, child’s after school activities. Though I am glad our school wants its students to succeed and go off to school and spends money on us to get us the right technology. So, Thank You Stockbridge.

Becoming Beautiful...“Becoming Beautiful” by istolethecookiez is a Wattpad book. It is not a actual published book. Kennedy (Kenna) was never known for her looks. Then she meets Marissa Rivers crying in the school bathroom. They make a deal she will be the designated driver for their parties and Marissa will teach her how to be beautiful. Marissa in turn would teach Kenna have to do the “girly things” such as applying makeup, choosing cute outfits, boys, flirting, and what to do and dress at parties. But as soon as the deal starts she meets Marissa’s half brother Noah. Noah is very quiet and mysterious. He doesn’t do anything active. An example is gym class he sketches instead of runs or any exercise. Slowly she opens up to Noah and their was even a dared kiss and triple chocolate cookies in the mix. Also maybe there is some feelings involved.
The Letter That Separates You...Riiiippppp! Opening the letter that put me right between the line of being an adult and a child. I read the name of my mother on the letter. First I thought it could be jury duty notice. But as I opened the envelope I saw my father’s name and in full capital letters that was to appear in court not paying child support for several months from the loss of his job. I read the date of the appearance November, 5, 2015. I asked myself why my father would do this to himself? Why would he put off payments? I was scared for him. “But he is an adult it was his choice” is what my mom kept saying. Yet, I couldn’t stop worrying. I love my Dad, even though he might of not been the lovey-dovey always telling me he loved me. He might of loved the bottle more than me at some points, but he is trying.About two years after my parents got divorced he became a type one diabetic. Even after the divorce he wasn’t the most happiest guy. Well I wouldn’t feel good or be happy either if the “love of my life” asked for a divorce. Opening the letter from court I felt like I finally knew what it felt to be an adult. As you get older you have a lot of responsibility and I admit it is really scary to think about it. The Blogs I Commented On.. Shelby's Blog Katie's Blog Jacob's Blog Hacking ...The idea that someone would be sick enough to want to kill someone by shutting of their pacemaker or changing their name on the device digitally is sick. Why? Why kill someone? Did they do something to you? Or What? Was it for just some sick pleasure?No! I find it sickening and horrifying. Why would you even think of something like that? If you were that good at hacking go use it for something that could make the world better. Why not help the police or insurance companies. It would help others get jobs and put money into the community. Why wouldn’t they help shut down illegal activities such as human trafficking, illegal gambling overseas, online scams targeting older people. Why not help? It will make you feel better. It will increase dopamine levels and feel better. As Elle Woods would say “ I just don't think that Brooke could've done this. Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't.” I have officially run out of things to say to tell you the truth.
The Pressure Of School.. School puts pressure on you as a student, but the pressure helps students learn to prepare for their future.Schools put pressure on you by giving homeworks, tests/ quizzes, amounts of time you have to work on class work, and working in groups on projects. In life you have to work hard for what you want in life.Generally, after the students graduate they don’t know how to multitask under pressure. In life people have to pay bills, go to school, keep your car in check with gas and the physical appearance, keep up with rent payments for where you are living, making sure you have food on the table all with one paycheck. When you're out of high school, you are an adult. You have responsibilities. Even though school sometimes teaches you things you might not need you your particular job. That class may make you work harder even though you might not use very often. That creates pressure on to work harder and make sure you understand it so you succeed. School’s put pressure on you, the student to do well. So that you succeed. We are their future.
Blog's I commented on... Melanie's Blog Kali's Blog Kali's Blog Cinder & Ella By: Kelly OmarThe Book ‘CInder & Ella’ by Kelly Orman. The book is a kindle e-book. The book is around 230 pages. The book takes place in present day. A girl named Ellamara or Ella. She is a big fan of the book series The Cinder Chronicles. She even created a blog because she loved the series so much. She thought her life was good. She went to book signing and posted the details on her blog. She had a lot of people following her blog, her mom was still alive. Then, it came all crashing down in front of her eyes. Her mom and her were in a car accident. The accident killed her mom. The ended up erupted into flames that damaged much of Ella’s body and skin. Waking up in the hospital she is told that she will never be able to walk properly again and that she will be living with her father and his new wife and her daughters. Once she moves in with her father. She results back to trying to talk to cinder458. Her online best friend. He is one that doesn’t treat her like she has a disability or a freak, or a dirty little secret that was finally told.
Cinder isn’t just a normal guy talking to a famous blogger. He is a famous young hollywood actor. When suddenly he finally gets a massage from Ella. For so long he thought she was dead since she hadn’t blogged anything, or messaged him back. Thier long lost friendship had been rekindled. What happens when they finally meet face to face and they come to the truth? Secrets will be told, stories will be explained, and what else? Maybe a happily ever after... Smartphones?I do believe in our society that, on a daily basis, we use our smartphones more often than we talk to someone face to face. We use it to stay in contact with our peers. Also, it comes in handy as a music player, researching device, and even a timer or clock. Some people keep track of appointments or events in their phones. Some use them to read books, magazines and even comic books. Smartphones make for an easy GPS unit, as they are always close by. I myself like to use my smartphone to watch movies and tv shows. Studies have shown that using electronics/smartphones before going to sleep keeps your brain awake, not allowing users to fall asleep easily. I know from personal experience that electronics sometimes slows me down instead of motivating me. Smartphones slowly make your life, your movements and body language change. Take a look around the room: almost every person is on their smartphone or electronic device.
Study Hall?Students would have less school work to do at home. Athletes and other students would be able to have more time for sports and family. Generally, when people have time for anything they want to try and do well or even do more learning. Having a study hall the students would be able to ask questions to teachers and other students to make sure they understand the information they are given. Generally, when students understand the information, they get better grades. Therefore, It makes the school look better. Students that understand what they are being taught have a better chance of getting a better education, that gets them a better college, which leads to a better job. Generally, when a school does well with students graduating and learning. Plus having students from that school excelling in life and education makes them a school to look at. That school will be a looking place for their kids to learn.
"Love Is Blind"By xXBlondie99xX“Love Is Blind” By XxBlondie99xX. Hailey Baker moves in with her wealthy uncle. After being in a car accident that put her brother in a coma and put her parents to death. After six months of trying relearning how to walk after her back injury from the car accident. Even for her some days she has to be confined to a wheelchair in so much pain and sadness. Blake Adams has lived in the same town all his life. But, he hasn’t been blind all his life. Two years ago he lost his eyesight in a dirt bike accident. Most people he meets take pity on him or in his word “ they treat me like an alien” Until he meets Hailey, she doesn’t treat him like he is an alien or take pity on him. Even though he might be a complete jerk to everyone. The songs that I thought went with this book.
Sometimes people’s hidden secrets aren’t always on the surface. But deep down. The Blogs I commented on were... Melanie's Blog Kali's Blog Natalia's Blog Relax, the terminator Is Far Away I do believe sometime there will be a “robot” to help humankind. I don’t know when or how but with our human curiousness. But, I really don’t agree that we need all these types of technology. It causes more of a chance to get more addicted to having all of the internet, Wi-Fi, knowledge, videos, definition, cheats, etc. I wouldn’t want a bunch of kids to have an easy way out to learn. Or, have my life not in a living person's hands, but in a robot. With all my surgeries I like to have the feeling before and after that a person who got a the education had my face in his hands. Even though he might of shattered my left cheek entirely. I thinking some type of electronic device or ”robot” to help mankind would be an easy way out. We have all these people that don’t have jobs why don’t we get them an education and get them jobs instead of giving it to a robot. With the money we are using to build robots we could get these people into jobs so they can afford stuff for their families. So why spend the money on robots?
